Cool, the dimensions are ok, only the mouth should be dark/black from the center.
The snake's tongue should start from below, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Try posterising the photo in photoshop (set ard 3-5), that'll help.

WOW Liam...give the members a lil bit of time to reply!! Most of us are at work while we are reviewing the forum and sometimes can't post right away!!

I was gonna reply and then saw your second post..sheese!! You should possibly edit that one...haha!

I think you did good for your first illustration in illustrator! Keep playing around with it and learn how to manipulate those nodes...they're great one you get a 'handle' on em!! ;o)

Keep up the good work!

lol, i deleted, the second post.
thanks for the idea d-zine (i will delete bad posts when i accidently freak out)
tho' i do go by views (possibly not a good idea)

ok, well
this was in ILLUSTRATOR excercise, i allready handed it in, but i am proud of it. i think i have improved a lot w/ the pen tool.
i was thinking a good idea would be to export the seporate layers to photoshop, and mess w/ them to add photorealistic textures ;) just for fun of course, and after this i have enough skills to maybye vectorize a photo of myself :)
thanks for the feedback, i appreciate it, oh and btw, what do you think of my new sig, lol

they look kinda different, but i am not too good at vectorizing, and as i said i think i can do a lot w. it on photoshop (i have used photoshop a LOT more than illustrator) :)

yes, you could. It takes a lot of patienct to be able to use the gradient mesh well, but it's worth it!
